Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Dylan stared at her in silence, then he flicked her forehead twice. "Ow!" She pouted due to the pain, and he felt a lot better inside. Under his guidance, Kendall finally took the right path home.

"You have one week. If you still can't remember the way home…" Dylan did not finish the sentence, but Kendall could see that he would punish her if she failed her task.

"Okay. I'll try my best to remember the way home." One week. That's enough time to remember the way home. I think.

Dylan said nothing, and Kendall had no idea what to say. He saw how indifferent she was when Jackson was chased by the dogs just now. She was delighted, in fact. I wonder what he thinks about that? Does he think I'm a heartless woman? I used to love Jackson a lot. "Dylan." He did not ask, but she wanted to tell him. She did not want him to think of her as a cruel woman. "Do you think I was too cruel on Jackson?"

"Nope. In fact, I think you were too kind." Dylan's answer was surprising.

Huh.

"If you want to get back at someone, take everything he has. Destroy his family. Make him homeless. Make sure he's humiliated."

"I see I'm still too kind." At least I'm not as cruel as you are.

"Why do you hate him so much, Kendall? I think you started hating him right after you refused my proposal." Ever since she woke up after cutting herself, there was something mysterious about her. He had looked into her past, but she was still a mystery to him. He was used to being in total control, and the fact he did not know a big part of her grated him. He wanted her to be as innocent as she could be so he could do anything he wanted to her.

"Sorry, Dylan, but I can't tell you yet. I'll talk when the time is right." They were still learning how to get along, and their love did not run deep. He might think she was crazy if she told him everything now. Rebirth was something straight out of a fantasy novel. There was no way she could tell him this was her second life. Kendall must come up with a logical story for him to believe her.

Dylan did not press her for answers. Everyone had their own secrets, and he respected her right to privacy.

They saw Vivian standing right outside before they even got back to their place. She was pacing back and forth, looking anxious. When she looked up and saw them, Vivian wanted to come up to them, but she stopped and waited for them instead. When they came near, she greeted Dylan, "Hello, Master Dylan." She then gave Kendall a look of admonishment.

Dylan asked coldly, "What does Grandma want this time?"

"Mrs. Coleman wants to see Miss Parker."

Kendall pointed at herself. Mrs. Coleman wants to see me at this hour? She realized why right away. Tilly might have heard about how she asked Mr. Miller to send the dogs after Jackson. Tilly probably knew what everyone was doing in the household, barring Dylan. She only ignored them by choice. "I'll see her once I send Dylan in." She would never refuse a summon from Tilly.

But Dylan refused on her behalf. "Tell Grandma I allowed it. Push me inside, Kendall."

Kendall was surprised he would refuse Tilly's summon for her. She paused for a moment and quickly said, "Yes." She pushed him inside, but before that, she looked at Vivian for a moment.

Vivian would not take her by force. She saw the two of them off into the house.

A few minutes later.

"So Dylan allowed it, huh?" Tilly dragged out the last part of the sentence.

Emily looked at her. "Mom, we can't let her do this. She sent the dogs after an innocent man. We aren't scared of anyone, but we can't allow her to hurt someone just because she can."

Tilly did not even look at her. She said, "Dylan allowed it, so even if something happens, he'll be able to take care of it. It's late. Go back to sleep. I'm getting really sleepy too. I'm not as young as I used to be. Can't stay up too late." She stood up.
